Daily Holidays - November 10

[Sherman A1]

National Vanilla Cupcake Day National Vanilla Cupcake Day is celebrated annually on November 10. This is a day for dessert lovers across the country to celebrate and indulge. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/

Area Code Day Whilst area codes certainly aren’t as important today as they used to be – primarily due to the proliferation of mobile phones – area codes used to be a point of prestige. Area Code Day remembers a bygone era when the evolution of telephone networks meant changing numbers, changing boundary definitions, and how much your area code could affect the perception and culture of your neighborhood. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/area-code-day/

Sesame Street Day There are very few of us who have not been impacted by Sesame Street in our childhood years. So, it only makes sense that Sesame Street Day was created to celebrate the tremendous influence that this maverick television programme has had upon our lives. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/sesame-street-day/

National Forget Me Not Day National Forget-Me-Not Day is celebrated annually on November 10. It was created as a day to remember and get in touch with friends and family that you do not see on a regular basis. It is considered as a day to reconnect. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/

6. I attended a Marine Corps Birthday Ball.......

this past Saturday. The oldest Marine present is 5 weeks short of his 90th Birthday. He was cutting up the rug, doing the Polka and Waltzes. Our speaker was Retired USMC General David Papak.

A good time was had by all.

7. Beat me to it.

It's interesting that the USMC was established before the US Navy, since marines were used mostly aboard ships. The reason, my brother (retired Gunnery Sergeant) tells me, is because they were put aboard merchantmen and privateers before we had any purpose-built warships. Of course, capital ships still have Marine contingents to this day, mostly to serve the Master-at-Arms.

Nevertheless, the First Troop, Philadelphia City Cavalry, remains the oldest organized force still on the modern US military roster.

8. November 10 Birthdays:

Of the 40 people shown, I've only heard of 8 of them.
I guess that says something about myself, or society.

They forgot Ennio Morricone on that list.
